    The first night of our trip was enjoyable, and good to be able to eat outside. A food selection of Belgian beers, reasonably priced, but no tap water available. Bottled water (still) was 5.80 euro for 50cl which seems excessive.

    We dined outside but cheerfully under cover. The service couldn't be faulted. Friendly and efficient but we were never hurried either. The food was really tasty and plenty of it, sadly we had no room for desert. I was dining with 2 teenage boys and the staff treated me like a queen. I enjoyed an amaretto on the house at the end of our meal. It wasn't the cheapest meal we have eaten in Brussels but it was certainly the most enjoyable. There was a pleasing music choice in the background, 80's mainly which added to the ambience. I recommend booking on a weekend as there were people queueing to eat. A wonderful evening had by all.

    Chose it based on reviews and was disappointed all around. My beef was tough, and flavorless. Potatoes flavorless. Beer good. Service good. Maybe should have tried the mussels.

    Food was not top quality, too expensive for too little. I have eaten better in Brasseries in Schaarbeek without reviews, whilst this one has high reviews. Better mussles in Schaarbeek, real Jumbos and a full pot, better entrecôte at a lower price. Just overprized

    My husband and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and our meal and beers… The only thing I would change is that next time I would be asked to sit downstairs. The bar is beautiful!.. hopefully we’ll eat here again when we’re back next year.

    9.5/10

    We were looking for traditional Belgian food in a relaxed setting and this was perfect. The staff was friendly and the food was excellent. We started with mussels for the table. (Definitely get the cream, white wine, and garlic.) For my entree I had the rabbit stew with frites. The Kriek beer was prominent in the sauce but not overpowering. The frites were the best we’ve had yet. Very lively, unpretentious atmosphere which was just right after a day of walking around the city. I highly recommend.

    the food was great, however, we had to pay for bread (that we did not ask for) and sauces had also an additional cost.

    Nice place, with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. The mussels were fantastic. Would definitely recommend. The sauce for the rabbit was a little sweet. An unusual taste, but not unpleasant. Overall very good
